Tim Kaine says he is 'worried' about disillusioned voters
As the contentious and divisive 2016 election draws to an end, it is no surprise that Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine is worried about the growing resentment Americans feel toward politics.
Speaking to AOL.com News in an interview, Kaine was candid with regard to the growing number of disillusioned voters.
"I'm an optimistic person, but this is something that I worry a little bit about," he said.

According to the Virginia senator, there needs to be more of an emphasis and effort on behalf of politicians and leaders toward figuring "a way to elevate the dialogue" around partisan politics and elections.

Kaine says if his ticket is successful on Tuesday he and Hillary Clinton will "work to get on tone with what we say and the team that we put together, and the policies we promote right out the gate with Congress." The vice presidential nominee wants a Clinton-Kaine administration to be "for everybody" -- not just for Americans that cast their vote for the pair come November 8.

It may not be surprising that eight in 10 Americans now say they are repulsed by the presidential campaign after the 2016 election has been unusually tense and at times toxic. Kaine hopes to be given a chance to turn his campaign's slogan into action, saying, "We have to be true to bringing everybody together."
"The Stronger Together theme that Hillary chose for the campaign, we have to be true to that."
